Ed I wasn't very plain in what i was asking for ( I am new at this) but anyway i was looking for the carb number for this engine I found the carb number but now i need to find out if it is the 1st, 2nd or 3rd type. The build date of my engine is 214.

I think all the smog Q- Jet carbs for a 396 Camaro have the same part number... Are you looking for a possible date tag?.. That's the round sucker on the side? For a February 14 stamped motor, you might be looking for A7 or maybe a B7 round tag.

Hi i appreciate the feed back. The 214 came off of my POP which was TO214MZ. Rich came up with 3 sets of numbers for my car but also came up with 3 different types and now i am wondering what type i should have on my car. I don't know if by type he means Rochester, Carter etc.

KurtYes that is were my question comes from. The information is all there but Rich mentions 1st, 2nd & 3rd type after the ID number and that is what i am trying to find out what that means. For my set up there are 3 different ID numbers.
